As an example, the book includes current research on actuators based on biomaterials to provide future perspectives for artificial muscle technology. Readers can obtain detailed, useful information about materials, methods of synthesis, fabrication, and measurements. The topics covered here not only promote further research and development of soft actuators, but also lead the way to their utilization and industrialization. One outstanding feature of the book is that it contains many color figures, diagrams, and photographs clearly describing the mechanism, apparatus, and motion of soft actuators. The chapter on modeling is conducive to more extensive design work in materials and devices and is especially useful in the development of practical applications. Readers can acquire the newest technology and information about the basic science and practical applications of flexible, lightweight, and noiseless soft actuators, which are quite unlike conventional mechanical engines and electric motors. The new ideas offered in this volume will provide inspiration and encouragement to researchers and developers as they explore new fields of applications for soft actuators. 606 $aPolymers   606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aRobotics 606 $aAutomation 606 $aElectronics 606 $aMicroelectronics 606 $aPolymer Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C22008 606 $aBiomaterials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z13000 606 $aRobotics and Automation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T19020 606 $aElectronics and Microelectronics, Instrumentation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24027 615 0$aPolymers  . 615 0$aBiomaterials. 615 0$aRobotics. 615 0$aAutomation. 615 0$aElectronics. 615 0$aMicroelectronics. 615 14$aPolymer Sciences. 615 24$aBiomaterials. 615 24$aRobotics and Automation. 615 24$aElectronics and Microelectronics, Instrumentation. 676 $a54 676 $a541.2254 676 $a620.11 676 $a621.381 702 $aAsaka$b Kinji$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aOkuzaki$b Hidenori$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298648503321 996 $aSoft Actuators$91668104 997 $aUNINA
